The best word I can think of to describe this novel is “lovely.” Full of emotion, it’s the story of two people who find each other at a time in their lives when they are ready to be healed from the past and move forward in a relationship that is full of love and endless possibilities for happiness.Several times, this book brought tears to my eyes. As I came to adore these characters, I found it more and more difficult to put it down. I wanted so much for them to find what they were looking for i...
Luanne Rice's books are better when she adds hard situations. This one has a main character battling cancer. I find her books which only deal with romance/relationships rather dull.I cried with this one.
A wonderful read! The author has projected the characters and emotions in such a beautiful manner.
an awesome book, cried at the ending. which was a great one
I don't know that this deserves a 5 star rating, but it was definitely the right book at the right time for me. I fell in love with Susan/September/Secret/Snow/Sarah. Also, the portrayal of being a mother and wanting her son to find the right path really hit home for me. The need for people to say good bye still brings tears to my eyes. I think this is a book that is perfect when you need a good cry.
Holy shit- my first romance book with a sad ending. But I didn't know it was a romance book at the start, I just picked up a random book from my friend's shelf. Please I've never experiences this kind of pain. It was boring at the start because of the lack of progress in the story and Sarah felt a bit problematic to me (just a bit) but it's all good now. I think I prefer books with hea ends. It was kind of cliche and also predictable but the writing is so good. I'm crying btw. And this crying is...
I would do 4.5 stars for the simple fact that I did not love the way the characters were introduced. But other then that I loved this book.
Luanne Rice is one of my favorite authors, so why did this book go nowhere for me. I really did not like it at all. I gave up on it about 30% of the way through.
I read this book during a time I needed hope and inspiration, and this book inspired me to believe in the hope there is always another life, another chapter, another love, bonded moments with family, whether it be forever or after they die, true love never dies and real family ties are never broken. All of this, I found inside the plot, the story in Cloud 9. My first Luanne Rice novel to read, then I have devoured many, many more. She is a must definite must-read author at some point in your jou...
It was alright. I had trouble with the storyline. It was hard to suspend my disbelief. The author has moments of wonderful description. I did like the setting and emotion tied to the locations. I couldn't relate to the characters. This will probably be the last I read by this author.
Novel ReviewThe author of the novel Cloud Nine is Luanne Rice; the novel’s genre is drama. In the book, Sarah Talbot faces the challenges of a cancer tumor. Not only that but she must go back to Elk Island to meet her son, Mike Talbot, who “ran away” from her. She must face her bitter old father on her way back, but love could be on the edge of Sarah’s life. The point of view is told from a third person omniscient view. The pace of the novel was slow since there were a couple of scenes throughou...
This is the kind of book that my friends and I affectionately refer to as a "suicide book" - i.e. really sad. It might be an awful term to use when describing something...but this one definitely fits the bill.I started reading this book several months ago, and for some reason I put it down. I only picked it up again the other day because I really wanted to finish it, even though I was pretty sure of what was going to happen to the main characters. I sobbed vehemetly for the last twenty pages or
My Original Thoughts (2000):Fluff. Romance, not literature. Not bad, though. It held my interest. Sad story, yet somewhat flat and predictable. My Current Thoughts:This is not my sort of book and I wonder what prompted me to pick it up. I'm pretty sure I haven't read anything else by this author.
YECH! Sappy, trite dialogue plus flat, emotionless characters plus stereotypes galore equals CLOUD NINE. I couldn't get through this one. It felt too much like a "bodice-buster" paperback romance. Advice to all: AVOID LUANNE RICE.
This book was a great read, a real dose of reality for those who have never lost a love one to a disease...........great characters, love lost, love found, the Heroine reminds me of a dear friend who recently passed away at the same age of the same disease. But my friend left her son, a little boy ...............a must read, yes it's a bit sad, but it will give you strenght and understanding.
A super easy read. Luanne really makes your feel like you're part of the story.I really enjoyed this book, and would recommend it!
This was so, incredibly, abysmal omg
I enjoyed reading this book because reading about a dseased person showed me that it doesnt matter who u are anyone can get diseases. sarah was one of the lucky ones who survived.
This book made me put it down and just sob. What a heart touching story and a must read. One of my favorite Louanne Rice books.
Oh my God! This book, I know that everything went okay after Sarah's death but this is the first book of Luanne Rice that I've been reading, where one of the main characters died. Such a tragedy, very heartbreaking. The feeling of surviving from a very complicated disease then after some peace here it goes again, coming back. Sarah she was a very strong woman, taking and accepting everything. While I'm reading it, even it's not possible I was actually thinking of Sarah getting cured, like a mira...
